"Attending and playing basketball for IU not only fulfilled my collegiate dreams, but it also has provided me with the opportunity to fulfill my lifelong goal of playing in the NBA," Zeller said in a statement. "While I will continue to pursue my degree in the future, I believe it is in my best interest to pursue my professional basketball career in the NBA next season."

Neither decision was a surprise. Both players are considered probable NBA lottery picks. But while Oladipo's stock appeared to soar in recent months, Zeller's play at times raised questions about whether he's physically ready to compete in the NBA.

Zeller, a second0team All-America pick by the Associated Press, scored 1,157 points in 72 games in his Indiana career, a 16.1 average. He also averaged 7.3 rebounds.

The Hoosiers were 56-16 with Zeller and made back-to-back appearances in the NCAA tournament's Sweet 16. This year, Indiana won its first outright Big Ten Conference championship since 1993 and earned a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.
